I'm currently in the UOTC and there are several students here who have gone off to Sandhurst during the summer holidays (or whenever) and stayed in the OTC as commissioned reserve officers, rather than joining an actual reserve unit.
I'm planning on doing the same next summer if I can, but I'm still not sure whether I should stay in the OTC or transfer to the local reserves unit? I have a friend on my course at uni who is a private in the local reserves and is planning on commissioning next summer too. He's trying to convince me to join the reserves with him while at uni and obviously most of the PSIs in the OTC are saying I'm better off staying. The OTC and the reserves share the same barracks and I know students in both, so both options are definitely feasible.
What would you suggest, bearing in mind I'm planning to join up full time after uni?
Would appreciate some advice!
